As
the Islamic State beheads a third hostage and the world recoils in horror and
reassures itself that all this has nothing to do with Islam, it is useful to
remember that jihad activity continues in the United States – although hardly
anyone notices amid the rush to dissociate Islam from the mounting
violence committed in its name and in accord with its literal teachings. Take,
for example, a Muslim from Seattle, Ali Muhammad Brown who is "currently
in jail on $5 million bail for the alleged murder of a college student in late
June." He has "already been charged with gunning down two men at 29th
and King Street in Seattle's Leschi neighborhood on June 1." And he is "now
the prime suspect in a fourth homicide." [more...]

Will America Erect an Iron Tax Curtain around us to
Keep Corporations in?

In
a powerful and profound Editorial this week, The
Wall Street Journal presents new information from the Tax
Foundation that America’s tax burden on businesses is nearly the worst in the
industrialized world. That’s right, America is ranked number 32 out of 34
of industrialized nations that are part of the OECD (Organization for Economic
Co-operation and Development). This ranking is from a new index that
utilizes 40 tax policy variables in its index. If that's not enough bad
news, there are some who want to raise the taxes even further, and
erect barriers for corporations that seek to flee America, looking
for a reduced tax burden. [more...]

In recent weeks, Big Labor's campaigns of intimidation
and misinformation have risen to new heights. This is highlighted by the recent
headline Unions say they’ll get even
with Scott Walker, for passing popular laws restricting
collective bargaining agreements and dues collection in Wisconsin. Such tactics
are typical big labor strategy, as chronicled in The Devil at Our Doorstep, which
clearly exposes the SEIU’s Death by a
Thousand Cuts Corporate
Campaign to use intimidation and misinformation to achieve its goals. Unions
accuse corporations of have an unfair advantage, stating that they have more
money to spend on election candidates. The truth, however, is that unions are outspending corporations on campaign
ads despite court ruling. [more...]

Now
I've heard it all! The PC police at CBS Sports banned a commercial with a
little girl reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. At first, I thought, "here
we go again." It has the phrase "under God" and we don't want to
offend the 20% of the country who doesn't believe in God and we certainly don't
want them to feel left out. But that wasn't the problem. Then I thought they
must have been tight on time and a 15-second Pledge would have caused them to
have to bump one of those commercials with a hamburger-eating, sauce-dripping,
car-washing, bikini-clad woman who uses the top part of her bikini to wipe off
the BBQ sauce. Nope. That wasn't what happened either. OK, then WHAT?The knuckleheads at CBS Sports decided that it was too
political. Yup, the Pledge of Allegiance is too political. [more...]

Did Pres. Obama Have to Be
Dragged Kicking and Screaming into Fighting ISIS?

Was
President Obama's ISIS speech a game-changer – or more of the same? Is he fully
invested in destroying ISIS – or is he again "leading from behind?"
What effect will this have on this year's elections? Is November going to be a "wave"
election? Will it be a big year for the GOP? This – and much more – will be
discussed by the POLITICAL INSIDERS.
